This year has witnessed a dramatic uptick in market volatility, driven by US trade policies and responsive action taken by other countries. With the picture changing on a near daily basis, companies have struggled to provide guidance, and the financial analysts who follow them have needed to regularly search for data elsewhere and rewrite their forecasts.
For IR teams, this means that the power to make decisions – and to drive strategic thinking within their organizations – is at risk. IR teams must have access to real-time, accurate and trustworthy data about market perspectives. Being able to find not just more data, but higher-quality data, helps IR professionals make more informed decisions and assumptions. This, in turn, allows them to be better allies for their senior management, investors and covering sell-side analysts.
In this playbook, written in association with Visible Alpha, now a part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, you will learn:
- Which different data sources are available in the marketplace
- How you can fully integrate those sources into regular IR workflows
- How a proper approach to data can help drive strategic decision-making.
